Chapter 239: Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain

“Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain!  Aiyo, softer, be a little softer!”  Chen Ning grinded her teeth so hard that smoke almosts came out as she placed her snow, white ankle on Mo Chuan’s knee .

She forcefully pulled her leg back, but Mo Chuan grabbed her and stopped her from moving .

“Now you know it hurts?  Why did you not make a single sound at the horse track?”  Mo Chuan angrily looked at her .  He used his hand to rub a bruising cream on her ankle and massaged the temples to circulate the blood in her feet .

Chen Ning’s ankle was swollen like a large mantou and it was so painful that she was crying, but she said with a uncaring look, “Why would I make a sound?  Even if my foot breaks, that man will not see any reactions, or hear a single word from me .  If I did ever show my wound off to him, he would say: This injury is ugly, you shouldn’t let others see it since it’s this ugly . ”

Xiao Ru had been in tears, but when she heard this, she suddenly gave a laugh .

But after laughing twice, she wanted to cry again as her heart felt even more uncomfortable .

“That bastard highness really deserves to die!  Young miss, this servant should have come with you .  If this servant came, then young miss would not have been injured . ”  The tear she wiped off fell onto Chen Ning’s leg .  She felt worse the more she looked at it, as her voice began to crack from her crying .

“Silly girl, stop speaking nonsense . ”  Chen Ning patted Xiao Ru’s head, “Alright, I’m fine now, so you should go back and sleep . ”

Xiao Ru shook her head, “This servant will stay here and accompany the young miss . ”

“You aren’t a doctor, so staying here won’t make my foot better .  Go back and go to sleep, be good . ”  Chen Ning sent Xiao Ru away with a tone that sounded like she was coaxing a child .  Then she turned to look at Mo Chuan .

“Xiao Hei, you should go and sleep too .  Give me the cream, I can just rub it on myself . ”

Mo Chuan did not answer .

He did not look up and continued to move his hand .  His right palm was placed over her hand, secretly sending forth internal energy .  He was using his internal energy to help her absorb the medicine’s energy .

Chen Ning gave a small sigh of comfort as she placed her right foot into a bucket of warm water .  The warm feeling spread to all four of her limbs .

“Xiao Hei, your massages are really good .  You should stop being an assassin and become a masseuse, perhaps you could make even more money than what you make by killing people . ”

Chen Ning gave a yawn as she spoke in a sleepy voice .

Mo Chuan’s lips quivered, but he did not say anything as he helped massage her foot .

“To be honest, Xiao Hei, I really thought you would kill him today . ”  Chen Ning closed her eyes and she began to think about what happened at the horse track today .

Mo Chuan gently said, “I wouldn’t . ”

After a pause, he then said, “Because he did not pay me . ”

“Pu!”  Chen Ning couldn’t hold it in and began to laugh .  Her eyes opened wide and she looked at Mo Chuan like he was very funny .

“Your meaning is you want to kill him and you want him to pay you for it?”

“Of course .  Although I sometimes kill people for free, for people like him, I would never do it for free . ”  Mo Chuan said in a serious voice .

Chen Ning began to laugh .  She felt that not only was Mo Chuan mysterious, he was also quite interesting .  He was not like the cold block of wood he was when she first met him .

Thinking of how he saved her today, her heart began to feel warm .

“Ke, ke, Xiao Hei, is your injury not heavy?”  She looked at him with a gaze of worry .  He was wearing a mask on his face, so she could not see his complexion, but his eyes were glowing .

“I’m fine already . ”  He calmly replied .

“You’re fine?”  Chen Ning looked at him in disbelief .
